PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2,—A special meet-
ing of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train—
men has been held in this city, at which
over 700 delegates from the states of New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland and ' the District of Columbia
were present, Grand Master P. H. Mor-
‘ rissey and Deputy Grand Master Fitzpat-
i tendance.
rick, both of Peoria, Ills, were also in at-
The session was behind closed
doors, and at its close it was announced
that only matters affecting the organiza-
: tion were discussed, together with some
action on what is known as the “car coupler
law’ ’ and some matters of l-gislation be-
fore congress. ~ Besides this a central griev-
' ance committee and board of adjustment
were appointed for the Pennsylvania rail-
' road east of. Pittsburg, their duties being
teetives waiting down the bay did net hear ,
through the darkness. This Was another
signal, and the officers knew their man
was there. ‘ .
The customs boat Hartley, which had
been placed at the disposal of the police,
was boarded in haste by six detectives,
four newspaper men and four revenue offi-
cers, and the little vessel steamed rapidly
away to the Swanhilda, which was met off
Fort Point. The detectives remained con-
cealed in the cabin while the revenue offi-
cers went on board the Swanhilda to see
if Butler had been put in irons. They re-
: ported he was not, and the detectives went
on board, and Butler was pointed out and
in a second handcuffed. He denied that he
was Butler, but was positively identified
by Detectives McHattie and Conroy, who
came here from Australia for that purpose.
The captured murderer was taken on board
the Hartley, which soon landed him at the
wharf. The patrol wagon was in waiting,
and he was whirled off to prison.
How Butler Was Arrested.
Although the arrest was a complete sur-
prise to the suspected man, he maintained
remarkable coolness and calmly puffed a
cigarette as he went ashore. Captain Fra-
zier of the Swanhilda said Butler shipped
with him as a seaman under the name of
Lee Weller, one of his victims. All went
well on the trip across the Pacific, and it
was not known the murderer was on board
until yesterday. When it was known, the
vessel was near San Francisco. Butler
asked Captain Frazier, as the pilot ap—
peared, to slow up, as he expected letters
from Australia. When the pilot came
aboard, Butler approached him and asked:
“Well, is it yes or no?”
The pilot did not know what he meant,
and he gave no explanation. Captain
Frazier was informed by the pilot that it
was suppOSed Butler was on board under
the name Of Lee Weller and told of ar-
rangements for his capture. Captain Fra-
zier agreed to do all in his power to help
the police. Nothing was said to Butler,
and the ship was brought into port.
. It was agreed that when the crew lined
for inspection Captain Frazier was to slip
When the police came
on board and the men lined up, Butler
was the second man in line. Captain
Frazier stopped an instant in front of
him, and at the same time Sergeant Bonv
ner of the local police covered him with a
pistol. Butler’s hands went up like a flash.
Irons were slipped over his wrists, and one
of the most notable criminals of modern
times was a prisoner.
A IVholesa‘le Murderer.
The known victims of Frank Butler, the
Australian murderer, it is said, number
14. Among his other aliases are Captain
Lee Weller, S. Burgess, Clare, Frank Har-
wood, Simpson, but Butler is supposed to
be his real name. His trail of blood, it is
alleged, reaches from New South Wales to
the reefs of Western Australia, where he
is more than suspected of similar deliber-
ate murders. His method was to advertise
in English and American papers for a
partner to prospect rich minenal districts.
He=stipulated that the intending victim
should have a capital of $50. He received
many responses, and whenever he took a
comrade into the wilderness to search for
gold he returned alone. As no one knew
of the partnership existing between Butler
and his victims, their absence excited
much alarm. ‘
After' Butler had sailed on the Swan-
hilda the first (slew was discovered when
the bodies of Well and Sorenson were found
by a sheep border. It appeared as though
Butler had induced the men to dig their
own graves in a pretended search for gold,
for in the pit they themselves had dug they
were found buried. Evidence was found
pointing clearly to Butler as the murderer,
and he had assumed one of his victm’s
names. as on the Swanhilda’s papers was
found the name, Captain Lee Weller. The
authorities in England were notified, and
detectives started both from Australia and
England to meet him on ,his arrival at
San Francisco. According to these Officers,
the list of Butler‘s victims is constantly
increasing. He is an Englishman, aged 40.

A Building “'recked by Revengei'ul Per-
sons—Iowa Safe Crackers .liake n.
Clean Swoep—An Explosion Un;
der n Train In Jamaica.
HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa, Feb. 2.——An at-
tempt was made early today to blow up
the bank building lately occupied by the
firm of Gardner, Morrow & 00., private
bankers.
The building is located in the center of
the business portion of the town, and the
explosion caused the greatest excitement.
A stick of dynamite was forced under
the front door of the bank and then set
off. An explosion like thunder followed.
The bank door was burst open and the
floor torn up. No damage was done to the
bank vault or the books, however.
On the opposite side of the street from
where the explosion occurred the front of
the First National bank and many stores
were damaged by the shock, every plate
glass window in the stores being demolish-
ed, and the sound being heard in all sur-
rounding towns.
The dynamiters performed their work
while the watchman was at the other end
of the block. '
The motive for the crime is ascribed to
the resentment and hatred of some deposit-
or. '
The bank failed last September. An as-
signee was appointed, and it was found
that the assets were insufficient to pay 20
per cent of the indebtedness.
Youth Charged With Snfe Cracking.

charged with safe breaking is in custody
at police headquarters. where he is held to
await the action of the grand jury on a
charge of burglary. ‘

Gown. Pike has been in the employ of
George A. Bailey, a hardware merchant on
North Broadway, during the past month.
Sunday ’morning Mr. Bailey complained
to the police that his store had been broken
into, his safe forced open and the contents
removed. -
Detective McGowan questioned several
of the employees, and suspicion pointed to-
ward young Pike. 'l'he detective visited
Pike‘s room in a. boardit-g house on North
Broadway, and learned that Pike had left
hurriedly for New York at 6 o’clock in the
morning.
His room was s ‘IXI‘Cth, and in a closet
-was found the inside cash drawer of the
safe, which contained Mr. Bailey’s bank-
book and a package of papers.

adjoining room. He entered his room and
went to the closet where he had placed the
drawer.

be main put it away. He was then ar-
rest. .1.
Burglar-s Loot a Bank.

Attempt to Blow Up a Train.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Feb. 2. —An at-
tempt was made to blow up a train on the
Jamaica railroad. An investigation into
the affair is in progress.
Later it appears that two separate at-
tempts were made to damage a train by
the use of explosives. One explosion did
occur, but only slight damage was done.
This led to a search being made along the
line, which resulted in the discovery near
the rails of a large canister of explosives.
The trouble seems to have arisen from
the discharge of some of the employees of
the railroad. Anonymous threats have
reached the newspapers recently intimatin g
that something serious would happen un-
less the leading oflicials of the road were
dismissed.

PRINCESS LOU”'E§'?£ Z LGE‘EZHEFT.
Queer Conduct of Hi» [Ling of Ilnlgium‘s
Daughter Causes :l. Sensation.
BERLIN, Feb. 2.—'I‘o say that the slope
ment of the Princess Louisb, eldest daugh-
ter of King Leopold of the Belgians,'with
a captain of hussars has caused general ex-
citement here is to put the matter mildly.
. It is the one and absorbing topic of con-
versation and comment. ,In the cafes, the
clubs, on the streets and in places of pubs
llc resort it is a fruitful topic of varied
speculation.
The affair is the more extraordinary be-
cause, although the princess was a central
figure in the gayer sets of the society in
which she moved, no one dreamed that she
would so far forget the obligations of her
birth and station.
It is hinted that the elopement is the
outcome of along period of hitherto un-
suspected domestic unhappiness.
Princess Louise Maria Amelia of Bel-
gium was born on Feb. 18, 14858, and was
married to Prince Philip, duke of Saxony,
on Feb. 3, 1875.
Prince Philip, her husband. is the son
of Prince Augustus, duke of Saxe-Coburg,
by his wife, the Princess Clementine Caro-
line de Bourbon d’Orleans, daughter oi
Louis Philippe. He is consequently a
grandson of the deceased monarch of
France. He is related to the royal family
of England through the late prince con-
sort. He was born in 1844.
Princess Louise's second sister is the
Crown Princess Stephanie, wife of the late
Prince Rudolph of Austria, who shot him-
self under such tragic circumstances at
Mayerling about eight years ago.
A third sister. Princess Clementine, is
now 25 years Old. Three years ago Europe
was stain? ‘d at the news that the young
princess l.;;.l decided to become a nun.
A Southern Cotton Mill In Trouble.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 2.—Judge Benet has
issued an ibrder for the peremptory sale at
auction of the Charleston Cotton mill and
the affairs of that company. With over
300 cotton mills surrounding it on every
side in the two Carolinas, this is the only
one in Charleston, and it has been but a
short time since it was paying large divi-
dends, some years, it was reported,
amounting to 33 per cent on the invested
capital. The conflicting interests of cred-
itors, however, coupled with the fact that
the machinery is now worn and of old pat-
tern, has sent it to the wall.

5 Noted Scotch Radical Gives~ Up lb
Seat in Parliament.
LONDON, Feb. fit—The Right Hon. Sir
G. 0. Trevelyan, Radical, secretary for
Scotland in the. cabinet of Lord Rosebery,
has resigned his seat in parliament on ac-
count of ill health. ‘
Sir George Trevelyan took a high de-
gree at Trinity college. Cambridge. was
called to the bar (Inner temple) and repre—
sented 'l‘yneznouth from 18 35 to 1868. He
has been successively lord of the admiral-
ty, secretary to the admiralty, chief secrc«
tary for Ireland, chancellor of the duchy,
with a seat in the cabinet, and secretary
of state for Scotland. Aslrish chief secre-
tary under Mr. Gladstone he showed dis-
tinct traces of merit. It was to him more
than any other man that the. abolition of
purchase in the army and the enfranchise-
ment of the agricultural laborer were due.
He was born in 18:38, and in his public
life has been distinguished for his attacks
on the house of ‘ "ds and the established
churches. Sir (m 21:0 Trevelyan is said to
be a fine scholar, though his brilliancy
rarely comes out in his public speeches.
He has written a biography of his uncle,
Lord Macaulay; a life of the early days of
Chdrlcs James Fox and a great deal of
dramatic and satirical verse, of 'which
“The Ladies In Parliament,” “Horace at
Athens” and “ The I)llz‘.Wl{ Bungalow”
are perhaps the best known.
MRS. OAREW MUST DIE.
An English Society “'0m-1n In Yokohama
Sentenced to 'Death.
YOKOHAMA, Feb. 2.—-Mrs. Carew, who
has been on trial here since Jan. 5, charged
with causing the death Of her husband,
Mr. Walter Raymond Hallowell Carew,
secretary of the Yokohama United club,
by administering of arsenic, has been
found guilty and was sentenced to death
today. The jury was only out half an
hour. The sentence is subject to revision
by the Britisn minister. The summing up
of the judge was against the prisoner. The
prosecution of Mary Jacobs, the nursery
governess, who was arrested on Jan. 10
on suspicion of being the mysterious veiled
woman who figured in the case, has been
dropped. The trial attracted much atten-
tion on account of the prominence of Mr.
and Mrs. Carcw in social circles here, and
because of the similarity of some features
of the case to the famous Maybrick trial,
which resulted in the sentencing Of Mrs.
Florence Maybrick, an American, to death
in England, her sentence being afterward
commuted to life imprisonment. The
court held 21 sessions. .

of other local dealers, bring the total num-
ber sold up to 100,000 weekly.
